Vol. 1, No. 2, October 1993.
The secret of Dex' origin leads him into the jaws of the Possessed.
After the chase of last episode Dextor Mungo gets some heavy headaches. He discovers that he sees the world as it normally is through his right eye, but that through his left he can see into the Ectosphere, a dimension similar to Earth but with a number of crucial differences. All the regular-Earth buildings are in the same places, but have a crusted and coral-covered appearance, and this world is populated by creatures and races out of myths, legends and nightmares. When he goes to visit his mom in a mental institute he finally gets to hear the true story of his father.
